How do you want to show up today?
Behave in ways that reflect who you want to be.
Every day gives you a choice in how you show up. It’s not about what you do, but how you do it: the energy you bring, the attitude you carry, and how you treat yourself and others. As part of your morning routine, ask yourself:
🤔 How do I want to show up today?
On any given day, the way you show up affects your focus, decisions, actions, and how others respond to you. Over time, it builds habits, shapes your character, affects your relationships, and influences the opportunities and trust you earn. Being intentional each day isn’t just a small choice, it’s a way to shape the life you want and the person you want to become.
Choosing how to show up is like a builder selecting the exact tools needed for a project or a chef carefully picking ingredients to craft a perfect dish.
Focus on a few key ways to show up instead of trying to be everything at once. Choose one or two for that day. Keep them simple, specific, and actionable. Picture what they look like in real situations: listening fully before responding, taking a moment to breathe when stressed, or being kind to yourself when you mess up. Choose ways of showing up that reflect your values and principles, not what feels expected. Your focus can shift from day to day depending on what matters most. Treat it as an experiment: try different approaches and notice what feels most effective for you.
You can use this formula: “Today I want to […]”
“Today I want to show up by listening fully before responding.”
Write your intentions down if it helps you remember and follow through. Pair this with a daily habit, like after taking a shower or having your first cup of coffee. Notice throughout the day whether you are showing up the way you intended, and adjust if needed. Every moment is another chance to get back on track. Reflect at the end of the day on what went well and what you might adjust tomorrow. Small, consistent choices add up, shaping your habits, your character, and the person you are becoming.
Decide how you want to show up, and make today matter.
